Personality; Elena is a wilful, independent woman. In her youth she was a risk-taker, which is what landed her her own popular TV show, though through the years her ideas of what risks are worth taking were tempered when the lives of the people she cared for were in peril. Elena has always had a great deal of compassion for those around her, even attempting to reach out to Flynn when he was left to die by Lazarevic. The gesture almost got her killed, but she wouldn't have been the person she is if she hadn't at least tried to help him. She's very capable of forgiveness, but she can also be ruthlessly stubborn and cool towards people who have wronged her, or straight up villains. Nate more than once has gotten on her bad side, from trying to leave her behind when they first met, to him walking out on their marriage. Her relationship with her estranged husband is strained, at best, though she does still love him very much. That love just happens to come out in acerbic quips and angry belittlement of his life choices.

She's always been a very driven woman, and while she has her reservations about Nate's choice to willingly throw himself into such great danger that his ancestor obviously risked himself to cover up, she's also been known to do crazy things to help out where she can, or to get a story where no one else has been able to go. Her passion for history and the mysteries of the past are what made her a valuable asset when she became a foreign correspondent for the TV channel she worked for, and her knowledge of several different languages made it easier for her to get access to people and places that some other reporters would find challenging. She also has a kind of enthusiasm for her work which grants her confidence in spades, which goes a long way when treading in untested waters.

Candidly, when she's not pursuing a story or arguing with someone, she's a witty woman, full of good humor and sarcasm. She's playful with the people around her, and one of the reasons her show was such a success was because she's just fun to watch interact with others. She's good at wrapping herself in her humor, using it as armor when she's worried or scared or upset. It usually only cracks in the worst of times, when she'll lash out physically, or verbally. Usually at Nate.

"No, Sully. Absolutely not!" Elena Fisher usually didn't mind being woken up by calls from Victor Sullivan. Normally, the status updates and little chats were what kept her grounded to her life back in America. Living the life of an international news correspondent could be difficult, and Yemen had been particularly stressful some days. This call, though. This call she didn't like. Because this call was Sully trying as nicely as he could to drag Elena into another one of Nate's ridiculous ventures.

"C'mon sweetheart, just hear me out-" Sully's voice was cordial over the phone, and she could almost picture him waving a cigar around, the look on his face nothing but sympathy. It just irritated her more that he felt sorry for her, but was still going along with whatever Nate was up to. She made a huffing noise, padding over to her computer and collapsing into the seat in front of it.

"Fine. Talk." She leaned forward, tapping a few keys and waking the computer from it's sleep, pulling up the overnight news bulletins and scanning them for anything important while Sully filled her in on how they'd tracked some important thing from Francis Drake's research to Yemen, and how they needed a speedy way in because it was a time sensitive project. She noted how carefully vague he was being, making it sound like no big thing, just something they wanted to get done quickly so they could get out of her hair. She narrowed her eyes a little at that, but didn't say anything beyond a few verbal affirmatives. She knew Sully knew that she suspected him of not telling her everything, but she wasn't going to get it out of him over the phone.

After letting him spin his wheels a few more minutes, she sighed, shaking her head.

"All right. I'll get you guys a couple news passes. E-mail me photocopies of your passports so I can get them properly authorized." Once she'd hung up with Sully, she sighed and leaned back in her chair, pinching the bridge of her nose and closing her eyes for a long moment. This was going to come back and bite her in the ass, she just knew it.

"Oh well," she muttered to herself, lowering her hands and looking back at the computer screen, not really seeing it. She absently twisted the ring on her left ring finger around, before glancing down at it and frowning, like she'd just noticed it was there. "Here we go again."
